Can you give a size and weight? What type of metal?
Looks like copper.

At first glance I would guess India. But that is just a guess.
I struggle with the Indian coins.

You might want to look through this site. A good place to start.

VCoins - The Online Coin Show for Ancient Coins, US Coins, and World Coins

With the vast quantity and variety of items at vcoins, it is always a great place to ID.
